Web Object loading behavior: difference between using story.html and story_html5.html

Aug 07, 2017

Hi,

I had a problem with a Web Object (WO). The WO (set to autoload) is on a slide layer. After pushing a button on the basic layer the WO slide layer is accessed and the WO automatically loaded. So far so good. With story.html everything worked as expected. Using story_html5.html the WO was automatically loaded when accessing the slide, so before pushing the button. Is this expected behavior with Storyline and html5? (I'm using Storyline 2).

I was able to solve my problem using a work around so no urgency here.

Regards,

Geert Jan Geertsma

Hey Geert!

This sounds similar to an issue on our radar for Storyline 2. To confirm, would you mind sharing your .story project file here so I can take a look and do some testing?

Thanks for your reply Ali!

Here's the source material. I've added the .html, .js and .php files too that are used for the Web Object. They will cause an e-mail to be generated to the e-mail address the a customer enters (and to a predefined e-mail address set in the .php file).

Symptoms of the problem:

With .html and e-mail is generated and all the fields a customer has entered are populated. This is because the Web Object gets loaded when the Send button is pushed.

With html5 and e-mail is generated and the fields a customer has entered are not populated. This is because the Web Object gets loaded when the slide is accessed.
